Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

I presume that the folders have names I cannot see because they are white on 
white, even though the current directly name is black (on gray).  The effect of 
the dark screen theme seems inconsistent.

  The open and save-as dialog boxes are provided by tk to either use or match 
the OS version.  (On Windows, I am fairly sure the native widget is being 
used.)  The tkinter wrappers are in its filedialog module. There are no color 
options.  So this is a tkinter or more likely, tk, issue.  This suggests to me 
that tcl/tk and KDE are not quite compatible.

The search box (searchbase.py) uses ttk widgets.  It seems that ttk.Frame picks 
up its background color from the environment while the included ttk widgets do 
not.  The effect is a little strange, but at least the text, including the 
entered text is readable.  We could make the backgrounds consistent either by 
setting the frame 'white' or by conditionally using a dark theme (there might 
already be one) for the contained widgets.  This is a separate issue.  

The 3.7.3rc cutoff is in a couple of days so I will make a minimal PR to fix 
the overt bugs that we know about and can.
